LUNA, Apayao – The Cordillera Administrative Region Association of State Universities and Colleges (CARASUC) Athletic Meet 2024 officially began today, April 30, at the Apayao Eco-Tourism and Sports Complex (AETSC) in San Gregorio, Luna.
The event drew nearly 2000 participants, including athletes, coaches, and delegation officials, representing seven state universities and colleges (SUCs) from across the Cordillera region. The theme for this year’s collegiate regional sporting activity is “Bidlisiw: Paghilom, Pagbangon, at Pagsulong,” which translates to “Rays of Sun” in Cebuano, symbolizing hope, resilience, and progress.
Following the successful hosting of the Cordillera Administrative Region Athletic Association meet earlier this month, the province once again takes pride in hosting the CARASUC meet, which will span from April 30 to May 3. The venues for the various sports competitions include locations in Luna, Santa Marcela, and Pudtol.
Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, serving as the keynote speaker, conveyed his warm greetings and best wishes to the CARASUC organizing committee. Through a recorded video message, Sen. Go commended the efforts of the committee in orchestrating a successful and well-organized event. He also expressed his admiration for the dedication and sportsmanship displayed by the participating athletes, wishing them luck and success in their respective competitions.
The CARASUC meet is not just about sports; it also embraces the cultural and social aspects of the region. In addition to the athletic contests, the highlight of the event will be the much-anticipated Search for Mr. and Ms. CARASUC, set to take place at the BGVJr. Memorial Sports Center on the evening of May 1.
